The 24-hour news cycle is a relic of a bygone age. It arrived (at least where I live) in the late '80s and hit that sweet spot where the world was moving fast enough to require people to be updated on things on an hourly basis, but there was no platform where people could search for their own content, let alone contribute. Nowadays, I like to use a combination of Twitter + print media for all my news needs, the former allows me to stay up to date, while the latter allows me to read in-depth analyses a few days later. It's funny, because for so many years the conversation was always about TV making newspapers obsolete, whereas today I find NYT/WSJ/Washington Post to be much more useful than CNN/NBC/Fox
